Elon Musk’s AI initiative opened an online dojo

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the artificial intelligence you coded in your garage probably doesn't have the type of resources behind it that Google used to make DeepMind a fearsome Go competitor. That's what the Elon-Musk-backed Op...

[Pay What You Want] Learn to Code Bundle 2016

Pay What You Want - Learn to Code Bundle 2016 01

With Walyou Deals’ Learn to Code Bundle, anyone can pick up programming and turn their lives around. The fact that it’s offered in a Pay What You Want system enables you to spend as little as you want, depending on how much you want to learn.

By learning to code, people can become even more valuable assets for the companies they work for. On the other hand, starting from scratch and becoming an expert in any of the programming languages, operating systems and environments covered by this bundle increases people’s chances of getting hired, in case they don’t already have a job.

The 9 courses that make up this bundle are as follows:

  • AngularJS: From Zero to Hero
  • Become a Professional Python Programmer
  • Build Responsive Real World Sites with HTML5 & CSS3
  • Become a Certified Web Developer
  • Learn Linux in 5 Days & Level Up Your Career
  • PHP & MySQL Web Development From Scratch – Build 5 Project
  • Advanced Ruby Programming: 10 Steps to Mastery
  • Git Complete: The Definitive, Step-By-Step Guide
  • Learn Cloud Computing with AWS

While you can get the last two regardless of how much you pay, unlocking the other seven implies beating the average, which $12.25 at press time. You also have the option to become the giving leader for this deal by beating the leader price, which is $63, for the time being. Getting at the top of the leader board any time while the deal is running will grant you 5 entries to Walyou Deals’ exclusive giveaway, which currently is a MonoRover R2 Hoverboard. Considering that the courses typically cost between $99 and $299 each, getting the bundle is really an incredible deal.

Bear in mind that each of the coding languages, frameworks and operating systems that you’re supposed to learn about in this bundle has some specific system requirements, so make sure that your computer meets those before getting the bundle. More details about this can be found on the page of the deal, linked below.

The Learn to Code Bundle also has a charitable dimension, as 10% of all proceeds go to Project HOPE, a charity that “delivers essential medicines and supplies, health expertise and medical training to respond to disaster, prevent disease, promote wellness and save lives around the globe.”

To buy the bundle, head over to Walyou Deals and check the eLearning category or click here to get straight to the Learn to Code Bundle page. If coding is your thing or you want it to become so, make sure that you visit the page within the next 6 days, while the deal ends after that.

Unlike some of the other deals featured on our store, which cannot be shipped outside of continental US, the Learn to Code Bundle is exclusively made of digital products that can be delivered instantly, anywhere in the world. Take advantage of the offer now, as the average is bound to get higher, and beating it to get all the courses will become increasingly more difficult.

Amazon Dash Button Hack: If This Then Dash

Amazon’s new Dash Button lets Prime members order a product with a press of a button. You can think of it as a convenient tool or maybe a depressing metaphor. Cloudstitch CTO Ted Benson thought of it as a way to track his baby’s sleeping and pooping habits.

Ted discovered that the Dash Button saves power by turning on only when pushed, which means it needs to connect to the local Wi-Fi network each time it’s activated. Before hacking his Dash Buttons, Ted intentionally left their setup process incomplete so that they won’t trigger an Amazon purchase when pressed. Then he wrote a Python program that detects ARP probes, which networked devices use to ask the router if the IP address it wants to use is already taken. He entered his Dash Buttons’ MAC addresses to the program, and as a result it can identify when they are pressed.

Finally, he gave the buttons new meanings – pressing one button means his baby pooped, while pressing the other means his baby woke up. He then made his Python program post those data to a Google Spreadsheet using his company’s Magic Form tool.

Head to Ted’s blog for the full rundown of his hack.

DIY Raspberry Pi Photo Booth: Say Fruit!

Last year, TMW Unlimited Lab Tech Lead Roo Williams was asked to come up with a better way to take profile photos of new employees. At the time, someone from Human Resources simply used a compact camera to take a shot of the newbies. Roo decided to make a low cost, remote-controlled and mobile photo booth that allowed employees to inspect and re-take their pictures if they want to before submitting them to HR.

Roo used a Raspberry Pi and the Pi’s camera module to power what he calls the Pi-Booth. He wired a relay module that controlled two lamps to the Pi to make a flash. He also removed the camera module’s lens and made a 3D adapter so he could attach different kinds of lenses to the camera. He also added a display to serve as the Pi-Booth’s viewfinder.

Roo installed the components in a case that he made out of a combination of 3D printed and laser cut parts. The front plate is frosted to give the flash a soft glow.

To control the Pi-Booth Roo wrote a Python application that uses Flask and Flask-SocketIO. Roo and his colleagues simply go to a website on their computer or mobile device to operate the booth.

Roo says the Pi-Booth can also be reprogrammed to send pictures to other websites. He can even add simple photo editing features to make it more fun to use. Head to Roo’s Github page for more on his project.
